Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Mason is a seasoned software engineering leader based in Portland with over 20 years of technical experience and more than a decade in senior management roles, now serving as Sr Director of Engineering at AKASA. He has a strong track record building healthcare and bioinformatics products—from founding-engineer work at a healthtech startup (Navio) creating no-code patient-facing SaaS and EHR integrations, to leading teams that delivered critical insurance pricing and provider workflow systems instrumental in M&A at Counsyl/Myriad. Christopher combines hands-on architecture (Python/Django, React, ElasticSearch, large-scale data modeling) with people leadership, having hired and remotely managed teams across startups and enterprise settings. He’s comfortable navigating technical compliance, fundraising diligence, and the interdisciplinary challenges of clinical data and medical ontologies. Not obvious from titles: his early bioinformatics and mass-spec software background informs a pragmatic approach to data-intensive healthcare products and downstream outcomes research. He holds a dual BS in Computer Science and Biology from Carnegie Mellon, tying technical depth to domain expertise.
